Game WantOnly Slaughtered.

If fifteen years ago one had asserted
that today buffalo would be practically
extinct he would have been laughed at,
but the hide hunters killing 90 to 100 a
day apiece, leaving the great carcasses
of delicious meat to rot, have most eff
fectually done the work. During the
last ten years thousands of elk and deer
have been killed in the west and north
west simply for their hides, while mil
lions of ducks, prairie chickens, quail,
and other varieties of small game have
been heedlessly, wantonly slaughtered
through foolish ambition to make q
large bag. Large bags are now great
rarity, and strange to say, sportsmen
wonder why it is so.-IKansas City

New York, November 2S.-The trial of
Johann Most, the Anarchist, was resumed
to-day, The court room was thronged and
many women were present, but there was
a noticeable diminution In the glare of red
ribbons and flowers displayed. Frederick
Hartingen, the first witness called, testified
that he went into the saloon in the rear of
which Most was making his speech, and,
attracted by curiosity, wentinto the meet
ing held there. He said Most did not use
the violent language charged against him.
not an Anarchist, but might yet become
one.
Herman Strelitz, a reporter formerly on
the Leader and now on the Nolks Zeitung,
testified that he heard Mosts speech and
that he began it with Fellow citizens,
not Brother Anarchists" as was alleged.
He said Most threatened no immediate re-
venge, but accused Grinnell and Gray as
the murderers of the Chicago anarchists.
He also accused Powderly and George OF
beir murder for turning the Knights oi
Labor from the Anarchists. The witness
said Most spoke in q sorrowful tone; every
word ''came from his heart and went to
the heart" The witness said he was So
cialist. and that he did not believe God
bothered about such trifing things as per
jury.
Gustave Stephan and siegfried Rosen-
weig testified that they heard Most'S
speech, and that it did not contain the In
cendiary language alleged. The latter
said he did not know whether he is an
Anarchist or not, and did not exactly
know what anarchy is, although he has
been studying the subject for eight years
He testified that Dreyfus, the reporter
who testified against Most, left the meet
ing a quarter of an hour before it ended
Judge Corwing said he would hold nigh
session, but lawyer Howe told him he in
tended to call only one more witness
Most himself, and the court adjourned al

BILE declined 10 accept the gift, but Miss
Mary spoke up ard said:
Eyes, take it. That is some of our money
that the old rascal took"
Mr.. Davis smiled and pressed the money
upon Mrs. Noble, who finally took it, and
carrid it to her husband in Augusta.
Suspicion was then directed to the con-
ductor, but his sudden death in the course
OF few days stopped further investiga-
ton.

Mr.. Noble, then prosperous contractor,
visited him at Montgomery, and talked
with him about manufacturing cannon.
Mr.. Davis asked him Several questions,
and then referred to the loss of the chest.
He then introduced Mr.. Noble to Mrs.
Davis and told the story of the arrest.
Mrs. Davis laughed heartily over the incl
dent, and, with her husband, took quite
an interest in the Mobiles from that time.
Noble went to work and made hundreds
of cannon for the Confederacy. Later he
founded and built up the iourishing city

Marion Powers, who committed suicide
by taking morphine, at his home in Lexing-
ton, Saturday afternoon, was well known
in this city. 1t was he who caused the
great stir in Scott county a few months
since, by instigating the overhauling of
the books of the county officials. At the
time it was said that he was only
acting for others, who desired
to benefit by his work. Powers was an ar
dent Republican, and Ii has been circulated
that persons who wished to run for Office
on the Republican ticket had him to get
up the investigation to disrupt the ranks
OF the Democratic party, which is in power
in the county. Beyond starring up very
bitter feeling among the people, bat little
was accomplished by his efforts.

WET AND DRY.
Two Views of the Recent Liquor Election
I'm Atlanta.


I'm Atlanta.
New York, November 2S.-The 'wet
and dryr editors of the Atlanta Constitu-
ton give their opinions to the world on the
subject of why Atlanta went wet" Mr..
Evan Howell, the wet" editor, says:
1.-THE Prohibition law had been tried for
two years and it had proved a failure.
The Prohibitlonists claim that it did not
have fair trial. The constant agitation
of Prohibition for years has been the only
bad result | have noted, so far as itefects
the city. There were certainly large guam
titles of liquor brought into the city
every day from neighbering cities, and the
large msjority given for anti-Prohibition
was not only protest against the law, but
against the strife and bitterness engineer
| ing the first campaign. / am certain that
the conservative men on both sides will
come together and throw around the re-
tail sale of liquor all necessary restraints,
and that it will be better for the city.
The part the women took in the election
at the polls has been greS tly exaggerated.
Henry W. Grady, the dry editor, says:
"The defeat of prohibition was not
unexpected. From the first to last the
negroes were almost solidly against it.
Much of this was due to the influence OF
Yellowstone Kit, rich and shrewd medi-
cine vender, worshiped by the negroes,
| who spoke night after night at the anti
meetings, carried on the shoulders of negro
men. The part taken in the campaign by
the ladies was not significant. Prohibit on
was not beaten on its merits. The law was
too extreme, 1t being impossible to get even
medicinal or sacramental wine without
violating it. Its administration has beeI
often unwise. Had it not been for these
! things the undeniable good it worked
would have overcome even the great negro
majority against it. Atlanta will not suf.
fer seriously. The bar-room as it existed,
insolent, political, corrupting and ruling,
is thing of the past.
ga conference will be held to devise 8
plan upon which the people can unite.
Not the slightest ill-feeling survives the
contest, which was without precedent in
vigor and aggression. A City Council is to
be elected on December 6. In fighting
for that the leaders of the two factions
will probably unite on ticket of the best
men in the city, and will seek to elect 1t
by q compact of the conservative element
Of both sides. The Constitution, which
by reason of division of opinion among
the proprietors, took no editorial position
in the contest will urge q union of the
best elements of both fractions to control
the situation"

meetine of The Naval Steel BOARD

WASHINGTON, November 2S.-The Steel
Board met at the Navy Department to-day
and considered certain propositions COM
ing from the contractors for supplying
steel for the new cruisers now building and
from department officers looking to mod
i6cation of the tests now prescribed for the
steel. After some discussion the require
ments were amended in several particulars.
The notifications, it is said, will not ad-
NIT steel of lower quality than that used at
present, but Will result in a reduction in
the number of tests, which is one of the OBJ
jects sought by the steel makers. A mild.
er and softer grade OF metal than was orig
inally required will also be accepted for the
heavy crank-shafts upon the suggestion of
the manufacturers that it will prove more
serviceable than the harder metal.
